Andrej Zholdak’s oneiric universe through Hamlet’s dreams. "Hamlet. Dreams" at the Teatro Español
Abstract
The purpose of the present article is to approach the scenic and dramaturgic creation of Ukrainian director Andriy Zholdak starting from the performance Hamlet. Dreams. The complex poetic universe of this director faces us as an audience with a diversity of strategies that are related to the contemporary European dramaturgy. The aesthetic relationship between Shakespeare’s text and Zholdak’s creation supports itself on deconstruction, both at the fable and the scenic levels. Zhodak projects his very own universe, his vital experience, his creative drive, in a complicated piece divided in three polysemic parts in which the actor’s gestural work as well as the sound field reveal themselves as the most significant scenic signs. This article also addresses the critic’s response towards this performance in its two sole exhibitions in our country, in Madrid and Barcelona, and also in Europe, with the purpose of collating or comparing the reception of such a complex piece of work and its anchorage within the European scenic trends of the first third of the 21st century.
